<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roller fairleads are devices used to carry fiber optics across or along the direction of motion of the rolling structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are associated with Fairleads serve as transitions between sections of cable, which may have significant mechanical resistance in some applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the application may not need high transmission bandwidth but needs low crosstalk and other qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selecting a transition design with minimum dimensions and, therefore, the lowest possible loss is advisable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roller fairleads are used in steel wire cable winches because pull forces are high and need minimum effective bending radius of the fibers and high strain capability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also need a smooth transition between fiber segments to minimize coupling losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All modern design methods used to fabric roller fairleads consider stresses caused by shear and torsion and assume negligible axial loading of the fibers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Axial loads can be limited by fixing fiber optic cables on top of each other or embedding them into cable jackets or substrates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, sideloading is less severe since fibers do not have large dimension changes due to their elongation or contraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
